Hi Guys,
I am in the market for the first home. Looking for an apartment and feel comfortable that we have about 20% deposit. (we are buying in Western Sydney)
I have been following ozbargain and know Ubank, ING, RAMS, Macquarie, BOQ, loans.com.au are generally good options. The reason for asking this questions that I have heard that brokers can only provide limited options.
Now should I go to mortgage broker or just go one of the above directly and ask for pre-approval?
Is pre-approval needed if we already have 20% deposit?
Also, what should I consider in addition? - any advice will be helpful. Thanks.
Edit: Any recommendations re broker? Western Sydney area.
Edit 2: This looks good - https://www.loans.com.au/home-loans/offset-var-80
